Case study shows improvement in blepharospasm symptoms in a female patient, suggesting Ayurveda may provide beneficial treatment options.
Blepharospasm is defined as focal dystonia characterized by involuntary, repetitive and sustained contractions of the extraocular muscles leading to excessive blinking or persistent eyelid closure. This article explores the effective Ayurvedic management of essential blepharospasm in a 52-year-old female patient with a 2-year history of the condition. Treatments such as Nasya, Tarpana, Annalepa, Netra Pichu and internal medication with regular follow-ups were scheduled to monitor the disease progression. There was significant improvement in involuntary movement of the eyelid following the treatment, with a marked reduction in both the frequency and intensity of spasm.
